    Description

    The Department of the Interior, specifically the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), is issuing a special notice regarding a Limited Sources Justification for a sole-source contract with Environmental Management and Planning Solutions Inc (EMPSi) for Planning and NEPA Services related to a Resource Management Plan Revision and an Environmental Impact Statement. This procurement aims to leverage EMPSi's unique expertise and previously developed tools, which are critical for addressing new directives and pending litigation concerning energy and critical minerals in North Dakota. The justification for this sole-source contract is based on the significant cost and time implications of duplicating EMPSi's work, which could result in an estimated additional expense of $350,000 and a six-month delay in project completion. For further inquiries, interested parties may contact Shawn Haubner at shaubner@blm.gov.

    Title
    Posted
    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking a sole-source contract with Environmental Management and Planning Solutions Inc (EMPSi) for Planning and NEPA Services, specifically for a Resource Management Plan Revision and an Environmental Impact Statement. This justification, under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C), cites economy and efficiency, as EMPSi previously completed related work and developed specialized tools, including geodatabases, templates, and GIS models. The revision addresses new directives and pending litigation concerning energy and critical minerals. EMPSi's unique expertise with the 2025 RMP, 1988 RMP, North Dakota-specific considerations, and air quality models (2019-2024), along with their development of the Reasonably Foreseeable Development (RFD) scenario, makes them uniquely qualified. Duplicating this work with another contractor would incur an estimated $350,000 in additional costs and extend the project timeline by six months, leading to further expenses and delays in leasing and production.
